Cursed are the people of the trench (containing the) fire that was full of fuel, when they were sitting by it, and they were watching what they were doing to the believers. And they did not blame them for anything except that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, the One Worthy of All Praise, the One to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is witness over everything. Surely, those who persecuted the believing men and the believing women, then they did not repent &#8211; for them is the punishment of Jahannum (hell), and for them is the punishment of the burning fire. Indeed, those who believed and did righteous deeds, for them are gardens (of bliss) beneath which rivers flow. That is the great success. Indeed, the grip of your Lord is very severe. Certainly, He alone originates (creation) and repeats (it after death), and He is the Most-Forgiving, the Most-Loving, the Honourable Owner of the Throne, the Glorious One, the One who does what He intends. Has the story of the armies come to you, (those of) Fir\u2019aun and Thamud? But those who disbelieve are in denial (of the truth). And Allah encompasses them from behind them. Nay, it is the glorious Qur\u2019aan, (inscribed) in the Lowh-e-Mahfooz (Preserved Tablet).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><strong>Commentary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This surah is called Surah Burooj.

This is the view of the majority of the commentators, among whom is Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbaas (radhiyallahu \u2018anhuma), Hazrat Mujaahid, Hazrat Dhahhaak, Hazrat Hasan Basri and Hazrat Qataadah (rahimahumullah).<\/p>\n<p>According to other commentators of the Quraan Majeed, the word \u201cburj\u201d refers to the twelve stations of stars that the sun passes by until it completes a one-year cycle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"text-align: center; font-family: quran; font-size: 16pt;\">\u0648\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627\u0653\u0621\u0650\u00a0 \u0630\u064e\u0627\u062a\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u06e1\u0628\u064f\u0631\u064f\u0648\u06e1\u062c\u0650 \u06d9\ufd3f\u06f1\ufd3e \u0648\u064e \u0627\u0644\u06e1\u06cc\u064e\u0648\u06e1\u0645\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u06e1\u0645\u064e\u0648\u06e1\u0639\u064f\u0648\u06e1\u062f\u0650 \u06d9\ufd3f\u06f2\ufd3e \u0648\u064e \u0634\u064e\u0627\u06c1\u0650\u062f\u064d \u0648\u0651\u064e \u0645\u064e\u0634\u06e1\u06c1\u064f\u0648\u06e1\u062f\u064d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>I take an oath by the sky containing the constellation (of great stars), and by the promised day, and by that which attends and that which is attended.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In these verses, Allah Ta\u2018ala has taken four oaths upon four things; (1) the first oath is upon the sky which contains the constellations of great stars, (2) the second oath is upon the promised day, (3) the third oath is upon that which attends, (4) and the fourth oath is upon that which is attended.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe promised day\u201d refers to the Day of Judgement and the phrase \u201cthat which attends\u201d refers to Friday as it comes every week, and the phrase \u201cthat which is attended\u201d refers to the day of Arafah, as all the haajis gather on this day on the plains of Arafah to attend the haj.<\/p>\n<p>After taking the four oaths upon these four things, Allah Ta\u2018ala says:<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"text-align: center; font-family: quran; font-size: 16pt;\">\u0642\u064f\u062a\u0650\u0644\u064e \u0627\u064e\u0635\u06e1\u062d\u0670\u0628\u064f \u0627\u0644\u06e1\u0627\u064f\u062e\u06e1\u062f\u064f\u0648\u06e1\u062f\u0650 \u06d9\ufd3f\u06f4\ufd3e \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0627\u0631\u0650 \u0630\u064e\u0627\u062a\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u06e1\u0648\u064e\u0642\u064f\u0648\u06e1\u062f\u0650 \u06d9\ufd3f\u06f5\ufd3e \u0627\u0650\u0630\u06e1 \u06c1\u064f\u0645\u06e1 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u06cc\u06e1\u06c1\u064e\u0627 \u0642\u064f\u0639\u064f\u0648\u06e1\u062f\u064c \u06d9\ufd3f\u06f6\ufd3e \u0648\u0651\u064e \u06c1\u064f\u0645\u06e1 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u0670\u06cc \u0645\u064e\u0627 \u06cc\u064e\u0641\u06e1\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064f\u0648\u06e1\u0646\u064e \u0628\u0650\u0627\u0644\u06e1\u0645\u064f\u0624\u06e1\u0645\u0650\u0646\u0650\u06cc\u06e1\u0646\u064e \u0634\u064f\u06c1\u064f\u0648\u06e1\u062f\u064c\u00a0 \u0615\ufd3f\u06f7\ufd3e<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Cursed are the people of the trench (containing the) fire that was full of fuel when they were sitting by it, and they were watching what they were doing to the believers.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In this verse, Allah Ta\u2018ala has cursed the people who dug the trenches and lit fires in them to burn the believers because they had embraced Islam.<\/p>\n<p>One might wonder \u201cWhat is the relationship between the four oaths and the curse of the people of the trench which Allah Ta\u2018ala mentions in this verse?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The answer is that all these four things which Allah Ta\u2018ala had taken oaths upon indicate towards the greatness and power of Allah Ta\u2018ala.<\/p>\n<p>In the first verse, Allah Ta\u2018ala takes an oath upon the magnificent sky which contains the constellations of great stars \u2013 all pointing towards the greatness of Allah Ta\u2018ala.<\/p>\n<p>In the second verse, Allah Ta\u2018ala speaks about the Promised Day, referring to the Day of Qiyaamah.

The entire incident is mentioned in a Hadith reported by Imaam Muslim (rahimahullah) and Imaam Ahmed (rahimahullah).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Story of the People of Trench<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Among the people who came before you, there was a king who had a sorcerer, and when that sorcerer became old, he said to the king, \u201cI have become old and my time is nearly over, so please send me a boy whom I can teach magic.\u201d So, he sent him a boy named Abdullah bin Taamir and the sorcerer taught him magic.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever the boy went to the sorcerer, he sat with a monk who was on the way and listened to his speech and was impressed by his words and teachings. Due to spending time with the monk, he would get delayed, and when he would go to the sorcerer, the sorcerer would punish him for coming late.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, when he would return home, he would again sit with the monk, and on coming home late, his family would punish him for the delay.<\/p>\n<p>So, the boy complained about this to the monk. The monk said to him, \u201cWhenever you are afraid of the sorcerer, say to him, \u2018My family kept me busy,\u2019 and whenever you are afraid of your family, say to them, \u2018The sorcerer kept me busy.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, the boy carried on like that (for some time). Then a huge lion appeared on the road and the people were unable to pass by due to the lion. The boy said, \u201cToday I shall know whether the sorcerer is better or the monk is better.\u201d So, he took a stone and said, \u201cO Allah! If the deeds and actions of the monk are liked by You better than those of the sorcerer, then kill this creature so that the people can cross (the road).\u201d Then he struck it with a stone killing it and the people were able to pass by on the road.<\/p>\n<p>The boy thereafter came to the monk and informed him of what had happened. The monk said to him, \u201cO my son! Today you have surpassed me, and you have achieved what I see! You will be put through tests, and in case you are put through tests, do not inform the people about me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The boy used to treat the people suffering from blindness, leprosy, and other diseases. There was a courtier of the king who had become blind and he heard about the boy. He came and brought a number of gifts for the boy and said, \u201cAll these gifts are for you on the condition that you cure me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The boy said, \u201cI do not cure anybody; it is only Allah Ta\u2018ala who cures people. So, if you believe in Allah Ta\u2018ala and supplicate to Him, He will cure you.\u201d So, the courtier brought imaan in Allah Ta\u2018ala and and supplicated to Him in dua, and Allah Ta\u2018ala cured him.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the courtier came to the king and sat at the place where he used to sit before. The king said to him, \u201cWho gave you back your sight?\u201d The courtier replied, \u201cMy Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The king then said to him, \u201cDid I restore your sight?\u201d The courtier said, \u201cNo, my Lord and your Lord \u2013 Allah Ta\u2018ala \u2013 is the One who restored my sight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The king said, \u201cDo you have another Lord beside me?\u201d The courtier said, \u201cYes, your Lord and my Lord is Allah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The king tortured him and did not stop until he told him about the boy. So, the boy was brought to the king and he said to him, \u201cO boy! Has your magic reached the extent that you are able to cure blindness, leprosy and other diseases?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The boy said, \u201cI do not cure anyone. Only Allah Ta\u2018ala can cure.\u201d\u00a0 The king said, \u201cAre you referring to me?\u201d The boy replied, \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The king asked, \u201cDo you have another Lord besides me?\u201d The boy answered, \u201cMy Lord and your Lord is Allah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, he tortured him as well until he told the king about the monk. The monk was then brought to the king and the king said to him, \u201cForsake your religion!\u201d The monk refused and so the king ordered a saw to be brought which was placed in the middle of his head. He was then killed though his head being split with the saw.<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter, the king said to his courtier who used to be blind, \u201cForsake your religion!\u201d He refused to do so, and so a saw was brought and he was killed in the same manner.<\/p>\n<p>Then the boy was brought and the king said to him, \u201cForsake your religion.\u201d He refused, and so the king sent him to the top of a certain mountain with some of his men. The king instructed his men saying, \u201cAscend the mountain with him till you reach its peak, then see if he abandons his religion. If he does not, then throw him from the top of the mountain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They took him and when they ascended to the top, he made dua to Allah Ta\u2018ala saying, \u201cO Allah! Save me from these people by any means that You wish.\u201d So, the mountain began to shake and all the king\u2019s men fell down dying, while the boy remained alive. The boy then returned to the king, safe and sound.<\/p>\n<p>The king said to him, \u201cWhat happened to the men I sent with you?\u201d The boy replied, \u201cAllah saved me from them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, the king ordered some people to take the boy on a boat to the middle of the sea saying, \u201cIf he renounces his religion, then well and good, but if he refuses, then drown him in the sea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, they took him out to sea, and he made dua to Allah Ta\u2018ala saying, \u201cO Allah! Save me from them by any means that you wish.\u201d So, Allah Ta\u2018ala caused them to be drowned in the sea, leaving only the boy alive. The boy then returned to the king and the king said to him, \u201cWhat has happened to the people I sent with you?\u201d The boy replied, \u201cAllah saved me from them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then, the boy said to the king, \u201cYou will not be able to kill me unless you do as I instruct you, and if you do as I instruct you, you will be able to kill me.\u201d The king asked him, \u201cHow do you instruct me to kill you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The boy said, \u201cGather the people in one place and tie me to the trunk of a tree. Then take an arrow from my quiver and say, \u2018In the Name of Allah, the Lord of the boy,\u2019 and then shoot the arrow at me. If you do this, you will be able to kill me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So the king did this, and placing an arrow in the bow, he shot it saying, \u201cIn the Name of Allah, the Lord of the boy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The arrow hit the boy in the temple, and the boy placed his hand over the arrow wound and passed away. Witnessing this, the people proclaimed, \u201cWe all bring imaan in the Lord of the boy!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then it was said to the king, \u201cDo you see what has happened? That which you feared has taken place. By Allah, all the people have brough imaan in the Lord of the boy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At this, the king was greatly enraged, and after consultation with his cabinet, ordered for deep trenches to be dug and filled with fire. An announcement was then made that the people must renounce their faith in Allah Ta\u2018ala. If they refuse, they will be thrown into the fiery furnace.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, a woman carrying her infant child was brought to a trench, but she hesitated. Allah Ta\u2018ala granted speech to her child who said, \u201cO mother! Be steadfast, because you are certainly on the truth!\u201d In this way, many people were burned.<\/p>\n<p>According to some reports, about twelve thousand people were burned to ashes, and according to other reports, the number is even more than this. Consequently, Divine wrath descended on the People of the Trench.<\/p>\n<p>It is reported that after the believers were killed, Allah Ta\u2018ala caused the fires to flare up so high and begin to spread wildly throughout the city, until it burned the disbelievers who were responsible for killing the believers. Allah Ta\u2018ala made it such that the souls of the believers were taken out before the fire could touch them, and they were saved from the torture and torment which the disbelievers tried to inflict upon them.<\/p>\n<p>As for the kuffaar, then they were burnt alive and punished by Allah Ta\u2018ala in this very world.
